Malawi health data

A 100 m spatial resolution geotiff of walking travel time in seconds to nearest health facility in Malawi. The data was generated using the Child Poverty and Access to Services (CPAS) software (10.5281/zenodo.4638563) and was created as part of the CPAS project within the Data for Children Collaborative. The travel time is calculated assuming walking speeds on all roads, tracks, paths and land cover types. A full description is available here a video description of the data is also available here Projection system is: GCS_WGS_1984 EPSG 4326 for all

A 100 m spatial resolution geotiff of motorised travel time in seconds to nearest health facility in Malawi. The data was generated using the Child Poverty and Access to Services (CPAS) software (10.5281/zenodo.4638563) and was created as part of the CPAS project within the Data for Children Collaborative. The travel time is calculated assuming driving speeds of local public transport options on all-weather roads/asphalt roads and walking speeds on all other roads, tracks, paths and land cover types.

This dataset shows the list of operating health facilities. Attributes included: Name,Nature of Facility, Activities, Lat, Long

Health facilities: hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, doctors, and dentists tagged via `amenity` or `healthcare`. Useful for service-access analysis, emergency response, and healthcare gap mapping. Coverage reflects where volunteer mappers have been active. Urban areas are usually well represented, remote areas may be sparse. Cross-check critical decisions with local field knowledge. - Source: OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map - Tags: amenity, healthcare - Part of the country exports on HDX by HOT

Spatial distribution of estimated pregnancies across Malawi at 1km resolution. Each grid cell shows the estimated number of pregnancies including live births, stillbirths and abortions. Use this layer for maternal health planning, antenatal care programme design, health facility placement, and reproductive health analysis.

Spatial distribution of estimated births across Malawi at 1km resolution. Each grid cell shows the estimated number of live births. Use this layer for maternal health planning, antenatal care facility siting, health resource allocation, and reproductive health programme design.

The main purpose of the Malawi Health Facility Registry is to provide an easily accessible national online database containing a comprehensive list of health facilities in the country for purposes of facilitating planning for service delivery and performance accountability. The Ministry of Health and Population maintains a comprehensive list of all health facilities in Malawi with a purpose of strengthening health service delivery. The list was previously maintained through a spreadsheet file which made it difficult to update and to access especially by the decision makers. Additionally, various sections of the Ministry have been maintaining parallel health facility lists making it harder to share and triangulate data across systems. To address these challenges, the Ministry has implemented an online Master Health Facility Registry (MHFR). The MHFR is a web service with a user interface to allow health workers get access to the full list of facilities and view summaries through the dashboard in addition to performing custom queries depending of specific information Please consult the official website to get the most updated database
